Ancestral bond and righteous fire and curses

If ancestral bond stops me doing damage to monsters due to righteous fire mechanics does that mean i recieve no degen and get free spell dmg ? :D

also do vulnerability and flammaility increase my targets damage taken without increasing the amount of damage i take?

I believe you still take Righteous fire damage, but I'm not sure. I just kind of assumed it was considered degeneration, not damage, plus it is separate from the AoE.

As for this second part, what are you asking exactly?

RF still does damage to you and enemies with Ancestral Bond, and is a bug. The correct (expected) fix is to have it deal damage to yourself and not enemies.
Degeneration is not damage, and thus it (and poison arrow and viper strike) skirt around AB's downside.

To your second point, yes, lowering enemy fire resist or making them take more DoT damage will increase the RF burning damage they take without increasing the damage to yourself.

Righto.

Time to make an underappreciated build strong as hell before Krip does.

Synergies to make this build STRONG AS HELL:

Double Arc totems.
Double curse,

Minion instability, doom curse, Divine toughness, statick blows all concentrated in one part of the passive tree.

Minions help me tank. With flammability they blow up much harder. Arc totems stack shock, increasing righteous fire dmg without harming me. Righteous fire buffs my totems.

Poison arrow's degen skirts around AB? I love poison arrow., I could make another build that utilizes it.

Any other suggestions for an AB build?

Dual arc totems to shock enemies for MOAR poison arrow dmg

I highly suggest not building a character that is based around a known bug.
That being said, if you have the time and don't mind the character becoming obsolete/needing a significant respec, go for it.

So eventually trap and poisons dot as well as righteous fire will no longer work with ancestral bond?

Or is it just righteous fire?

Yeah, I'd like to see a source on the claim that poison arrow's dot effect with AB is a bug.

How are people not getting this. Righteous Fire/Viper Strike/Poison Arrow etc are counted as degen. Currently, AB doesn't factor degen into its' workings, thus degen is a workaround and allows you to (for the time being) damage enemies with degen from your person.

This is not working as intended, and will be fixed.
